Chapter 16: The Difficulty of Ma Jiu
"The years are dyed with red dust, a red dress and a turn, the smoke disappears; ”
On the east side of the Jiening Kingdom, there are two large coastal states of the Federation named Iljas and Pingning respectively, and they are considered to be the better federal states of the Jiening Kingdom. The country of Pingning is located on the southern side of the country of Ilyas, and further south of the country is a number of smaller countries with a large number of forests. Among these small countries is a free country near the coastline, which is named Blue Sea City because of its snuggling ocean. Blue Ocean City does not belong to any big country, there are only nearly 1,000 families living in the city, they have no ruling class, and the people in the city mainly depend on the neighboring larger city-states to survive, there are no soldiers stationed here in the city, because it deviates from the high incidence of war, so it is rare to see gunpowder smoke and war. However, the people in Blue Ocean City are still living in difficulty, and every family basically lives on barren land and a little sea goods to make a living, but it is also a blessing for Blue Ocean City to enjoy such a peace in troubled times. But this seemingly quiet and ordinary town has become extraordinary because of a lake and a person.
And this person is Ma Jiu, the great wizard who once lived in the Southern Realm.
Seven hundred years ago, there was a large landslide and earth fissure in the middle of the north and south, and after the shaking ended, the earth's crust was migrated everywhere. The wildlings guarding the underground castle prison braved the smoke to check the castle prison after the earthquake, but none of the wildlings who entered the smoke came out of their minds. After a few months, the smoke floating over the Great Rift Valley dissipated, and the savages risked their lives to search the entire nearby Chaos Valley without finding the shadow of the ancient castle prison, and the prison where the cavalry of the Heavenly Mountain was imprisoned disappeared inexplicably.
Wizard Ma Jiu was amazed, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, the prison of the ancient castle was not an ordinary war criminal, once the Evil Flame Emperor escaped with the black horse cavalry, the catastrophe of hundreds of years ago would be repeated. And the person who proposed and carried out the detention was Ma Jiu, so the responsibility for this crime will be all on Ma Jiu's head. Ma Jiu concluded that the castle prison must still exist in this world, it could not disappear out of thin air, and he would find it even if he died. To this end, Ma Jiu took the pterodactyl and the crystal full of frost and flame and left the Black Cong Mountains, which he had ruled for nearly a thousand years, and flew towards the Chaos Valley to the north.
After Ma Jiu rode the pterodactyl to the Valley of Chaos, he was very surprised by the valley full of evil aura in front of him. He couldn't understand why the earthquake could produce such a large deep ditch, and the evil energy of the deep ditch swelled like hell opened the door. Ma Jiu drove the pterosaur to look around from above the Chaos Valley, the east and west of the Chaos Valley split and the fog stretched throughout the east and west, the fog in the valley was not an ordinary poisonous gas, and the pterosaur felt dizzy and dizzy when it approached. If a person goes down to the valley, it may be difficult to climb up with strength, so the Chaos Valley completely separates the north and the south, making the north and the south separate in two worlds.
Ma Jiu suspected that the earthquake had caused the castle to move underground, and since he had not found out the location of the prison in the south, it should have been moved to the north or other farther places or even to the bottom of the ocean, but Ma Jiu had to find it no matter where it was. So Ma Jiu flew over the Valley of Chaos with a pterodactyl and flew towards the northern world. From the moment he crossed this deep ditch, the savage tribe that should have evolved and developed long ago was completely free from Ma Jiu's rule.
However, the truth is not as simple as Ma Jiu thought, and it is difficult to find a huge building in the underground of this world. After Ma Jiu flew headless and brainless for more than ten days, a small blue lake near the western boundary of the ocean caught his attention.
At that time, when Ma Jiu looked down on the ground from the air, except for the stretching mountains and crowded markets, all that was left was mountains, forests and rivers, and everything seemed to be the same. While flying near the coastline on the western shore of the ocean, a crystal clear lake suddenly appeared in his field of vision in a grove of trees near the sea. The lake was no ordinary lake, its water was pure blue rather than blue, and there was something that looked like a fish sliding in the water, but it was certainly not a fish, at least not the usual fish. At the bottom of the lake, a large group of bright flowers can be clearly seen, not a reflection in the middle of the cluster of flowers, there seems to be a swirling black hole, this black hole is like a mouth and a mouth is swallowing something.
Ma Jiu observed the terrain around the lake again, and there were no human footprints around the lake, except for a few hares occasionally wandering and playing around the lake. Ma Jiu led his eighteen-winged dragon down to the lake with doubts, and the hare ran away in fright when he saw such a flying dragon, a bird larger than an eagle, falling from the sky. After Ma Jiu jumped off the dragon's back, the first thing he did was to check the situation at the lake. He found many strange phenomena along the shore of the lake, and in the sand of the shore of the lake were buried many large and small humanoid skulls, as well as some finger bones, clavicles, and other human bones. Ma Jiu thought to himself that this lake must be extraordinary, and there must have been some war in this vicinity. Thinking of this, he crouched down and picked up a complete skull from the sand and examined it carefully.
"Whoa"
Suddenly, Ma Jiu heard a terrible scream behind him. He turned his head sharply, and what he saw in front of him startled Ma Jiu. The seven thirsty pterosaurs stuck their heads into the lake and were drinking, and the blue water on the surface of the lake suddenly turned into sharp claws and grabbed the neck of the pterosaur fiercely, and the seven pterosaurs wailed and were pulled into the water alive. Seeing this, the other eleven pterosaurs hurriedly took off to prepare for battle, and when Ma Jiu was about to get up and ride on the pterosaur to rescue the pterosaur that had fallen into the water, his hand was bitten fiercely by the skull that had just been held in his hand. Suddenly, all the skeletons buried in the sand shook the dirt on their bodies and stood up, and they gradually pieced together a row of walking white bones to attack Ma Jiu. The pterosaur flying in the sky saw that its owner was in distress and rushed down to save Ma Jiu, and dozens of white bones were knocked apart by the pterosaur in the blink of an eye. But the bones that split into the body soon came back together, and the number increased, and Ma Jiu was haunted by several white bones and could not get close to the pterodactyl, and the pterosaur released flames in the air and burned a large number of skeletons. But Ma Jiu couldn't twist the few white bone skeletons wrapped around him, and after a while, he was dragged into the Blue Lake by those white bones.
Eleven pterosaurs did not dare to enter the lake easily, but they could not leave while their owners were still inside. When the surface and shore of the lake have quieted down, they return to the lake and look out into the water. When they all landed close to the shore, the water turned into claws that kept struggling and grabbed them by the legs with great speed, pulling them all into the water.
Ma Jiu was surrounded by a sea of flowers at the bottom of the lake, and he wanted to shout but couldn't. He vaguely saw the miserable appearance of the eighteen-winged dragon, and Ma Jiu, who was still conscious, quickly scratched his right arm with the sharp nails of his left hand. Blood flowed from his right arm, and Ma Jiu used all his strength to recite the witch words that controlled the pterodactyl. In an instant, a flash of light burst out from the middle of the eighteen-winged dragon, and the eighteen-winged dragon turned into light and collected into the flash, and when everything was over, the flash turned into a crystal ball and floated in place. The crystal ball gradually moved towards Ma Jiu's chest, Ma Jiu's blood was still spreading, and the blue water began to dye red at the bottom of the lake. The red blood slowly soaked into the flowers at the bottom of the lake, and the flowers were no longer so gentle and quiet when they smelled the blood. They began to wrap around this blood diffuser like crazy, and Ma Jiu soon became a "fairy in flowers". These flowers seem to be sucking the essence of Ma Jiu, their branches and leaves are squirming back and forth, and Ma Jiu, which is resting in the middle, slowly brightens, and the light gradually gathers above Ma Jiu's chest, and Ma Jiu's mouth and eyes still have white gas constantly adding to the bright light. After Ma Jiu stopped exhaling at all, another crystal ball appeared on Ma Jiu's chest. After sucking Ma Jiu's poisonous flowers, they all scattered after a full meal, and Ma Jiu slowly sank from the middle of the lake to the bottom of the lake. When he fell to the bottom of the lake, all three crystal balls, along with the crystal ball just now, rolled to the black hole surrounded by flowers, and suddenly several rotten hands covered with seaweed suddenly stretched out from the black hole and took the crystal ball to the hole.
The surface of the Blue Lagoon soon became as calm as a mirror, and the white skeletons on the shore were scattered and lying in the sand, as if nothing had happened.
Seven hundred years have passed, and the world has changed dramatically during this time. The first wave of people who arrived at the Blue Lagoon lived on the Blue Lagoon after seeing it, and they named it "Blue Sea City", which means beautiful and clear purity, but then all of them died inexplicably. Later, after someone moved here, the lake was never seen again, but the beautiful name of "Blue Ocean City" has been preserved.
Seven hundred years is fast and fast, slow is very slow, anyway, it passed all at once.
